I have not read futureunknown's stitch, but sounds like you could use the fresh advice.
Sandi-
I'd very much appreciate your take on my situation, especially given what just happened. I'm really at a loss. I feel like there's something potentially brewing, but I don't want to overplay my hand. I know the WAW is a very delicate creature, especially with an A involoved. Anything you could offer would be very appreciated.
